The mother of the boy who uploaded the
photos said she works as a nurse in Saudi Arabia and went home only to
attend the graduation of her son, one of twins.

She said she refused to attend the
graduation ceremonies because her son would only be subjected to
ridicule since he won’t be called to the stage to receive his diploma. 'It will be like an insult,” she told The Associated Press.

The School authorities have said the boys can attend graduation but have not yet received their certificates

The pictures were not taken at the boys’ school, Infant Jesus Academy in the Manila suburb of Marikina, but the students were wearing school uniforms, he said.

Mergenio said the school’s chancellor informed the department late Thursday that the boys will be allowed to participate in the graduation ceremonies but “the release of their diplomas will be delayed.”

He said the school did not say when the diplomas will be handed over and that he was awaiting a formal written report from the school.
